The Making Of An Elementary MakerSpace

So much has happened at Lewis and Clark since the end of May.  The library received a grant from the Liberty School District Foundation in the amount of nearly $8,000.00 to be spent on creating a MakerSpace.  Since being awarded that grant, my brain has not shut off.  I have been busy planning for great experiences, purchasing materials, and getting donations for our MakerSpace! I knew that we needed a MakerSpace when I didn't have the resources my students needed and wanted during Genius Hour.   Our MakerSpace will be located in the reading resource room in the library.  It will be very easy to access everything we need when we need it!  This is what the room has looked like at various stages during the summer months.  Mrs. Carey and I relocated all the books in the picture below and our fabulous custodial staff has cleared out everything else.   I was fortunate to find 3 shelves hanging around storage closets that will now be used in the space.  Thanks to M
